Got into this discussion with someone today. It's my view that if you say, "Let's have some BBQ!" You are specifically referring to smoked foods like brisket, ribs, etc. Hot dogs and hamburgers would not be included. However, if you were to say, "Let's have a BBQ!" That could imply grilled foods, too. Thoughts?
Are hotdogs and hamburgers considered BBQ?

Only if you're a Yankee. They're "grilling" to regular BBQers.
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really
No.

Burgers and hot dogs = grilling
I guess if you smoked them, then you can call it barbecue.

Not at all
Nope! My four-year-old Grandson could answer that question.
My soon to be 8 year old (next Saturday) great grandson would say no also..........his grandfather was taught well and is handing down said pertinent knowledge to his grandson
If hamburgers and hot dogs are bbq, then I assume corn on the cob, asparagus, pineapple and peaches are too?
Burgers are better on a flat top and hot dogs are better steamed in beer or on a flatop on a bed of sauteed onions.
I cannot get my wife to understand the difference between BBQ and grilling when it comes to cooking temps. For example, I'll be smoking a pork butt on the BGE for dinner and she'll say, "hey can you toss these burgers on for lunch".
Unless your burger is a brisket sandwich, then no.
Nothing wrong with a smoked burger if you can sear them a bit when they're done. But I get what you're trying to say.texag06ish said:

You could actually do it one time. My guess is she wouldn't ask anymore.texag06ish said:

BBQ to everyone outside of Texas is anything cooked outside it seems per all the media outlets and it is so damn irritating. I know Old Man Shouting At Clouds!
Yankee here. We don't call hot dogs & hamburgers BBQ but we may say "let's BBQ" meaning let's grill some dogs & burgers.
Get a rope
We would also have accepted "cooking" hamburgers and hot dogs.B-1 83 said:

When discussing the event itself, people use "barbecue" as a synonym for "cookout."

Any mention of BBQ means exactly what you said.
I don't think a Texan would say let's have a BBQ because that implies a 7-17 hour process. Could be a hell of a party I guess.
Personally we say let's cook out or let's grill or let's burn some meat.

Smoked hamburgers are amazing, but I still wouldn't call them BBQ, and hot dogs will never be BBQ.
And if you say "I BBQ'd a hot dog" I will understand that you heated a propane or charcoal grill and seared it over flame. I will also understand you are a yankee.

I don't know anyone that would utter that sentence.
Deserves an arse kicking for saying that
Yeah my inlaws and friends in Pennsylvania and Maryland all use the term "barbeque" to be synonymous with "cookout" or grilling, but don't refer to the food they are making as BBQ.
What is the linguistic distinction for say a pork butt that is cooked in a crock pot? The food itself is a bbq item, but not cooked within the guidelines of barbequing it.

Seems I misunderstood your comment, then. "Let's BBQ" refers to BBQ as a verb. Semantics don't matter, just explaining how I interpreted it. Thanks for clarifying. Linguistic differences in cultures is always fascinating.
Cooking hamburgers/hot dogs outside = cookout, grilling, but not BBQing
This. I always put my burgers on the grill for years until I started cooking more with cast iron. Grease splatter is more of a pain in the ass, but worth it.Teslag said:

I have a buddy that grew up in Kansas City. To him anything with BBQ sauce is BBQ. We've gotten into some heated discussions on itcypress-ag said:

Don't think that's the thing in question. All those areas do have BBQ in the Texas vernacular- slow smoked pig, ribs, and brisket. The issue is that people called grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and even fish BBQ because it's cooked outside.
If I grill some chicken and put bbq sauce on it, and my wife asks me what we're having for dinner, I say bbq chicken, not grilled chicken with bbq sauce. It's like saying chicken fajitas. I know it's not really fajitas and I know the grilled chicken isn't really bbq. It's really no different than saying you're having spaghetti for dinner. It's implied that you're having spaghetti with a red sauce on it. If you say that in Italy, you'll get a blank stare.
